Only citizens of visa-exempt countries can get a work permit at the border.Hi All, My wife is on TRV in Canada as a visitor. She has got offer letter from LMIA exempt employer and has received LMIA/Employer number as well. Can we go and get work permit by flag polling?
She CAN apply to change from visitor to worker if she applies for a spouse open work permit; she is only eligible for that if (a) you can prove that you are employed full-time in a skilled occupation (letter from your employer, recent paystubs); or (b) you have applied for PR ...
Otherwise, if she wants to apply for a work permit using her job offer, she will have to leave and apply from a visa office outside of Canada.
